FROG-3 CW-Keyer / CW-Commander with Microcontroller PIC 18F26K20

Transcription

1 Bernhard Hochstätter Zur Steige Sand am Main November 2015 / b FROG-3 CW-Keyer / CW-Commander with Microcontroller PIC 18F26K20 FROG-3 was developed on the base of my smaller FROG-2, but he does not replace him. The philosophy of the two Keyers is different. The PIC 18F26K20 opens new opportunities in a wide field for experimentation. Whoever is interested in technical developments in addition to pure CW operation technique should read on. Fig 1 The challenge for design and board was "not all aboard" like FROG-2. The hardware is designed for individual use. Fig 2 Since February 2015 a sensor prototype is in practical use in my shack. The firmware is continually evolving If you want to constructively contribute to this project, you are invited to bring your experience, ideas and wishes! The firmware as HEX file is free, contact me at dl6nbs@darc.de Unfortunately I can not provide printed circuit boards since I customize this only as individual pieces. Against reimbursement of my expenses, I can send you a programmed PIC with the latest firmware. It requires very few components, a breadboard is sufficient for the realization. Nevertheless, the description includes a PCB layout de DL6NBS Bernd / Sand 1/19

4 2. Design and connections of the FROG-3 This chapter will help you to define your FROG-3 and to build. Whether paddle or sensors are used, whether three signal outputs or just a keyer output is required -> you decide. Whether your FROG-3 is used for the modernization of an existing device or a new device is also left to you. Whether the connection to the TRX via the provided optocoupler or whose base is only as support for a small transistor board -> your decision. The choice of 4x4 matrix keyboard, whether cheap membrane keyboard or premium keys, you decide. In principle, a breadboard construction without PCB is conceivable. The PIC does not matter where he performs his work and many components there are really not. Here the schematic: If you want to etch PCB, here's the layout and placement plan PCB (Components view) Keyboard-connection Overlay membrane-pad 4/19

6 Now I present my sensor prototype. I found a half-shell steel housing 135 x 57 x 20 mm in the junk box. There was enough place for all components and a solid and compact FROG-3 grew (see Figures 1 and 2). As sensors I use the already proven technology of the FROG-2 (please read the FROG-2 documentation if necessary). At the left you can see the sensor-carrier with the DASH-sensor which was made of a solderable steel plate. The identical DOT-sensor is located on the opposite side. The red LED has been integrated into the carrier. In the front side of the carrier you can see the glued wake up button. This switch is connected to the paddle-dot-pin and used to wake up the FROG-3 from sleep mode. In the paddle version of the FROG-3 this button is not necessary. The wiring of the four carrier components (sensors, LED and button) was performed with a thin wrap wire. The TRX jack is electrically isolated to reduce the RFsusceptibility. The sensors work well if there is a sufficient "mass". The FROG-3 connection with the TRX is already sufficient. At the right you can see the power switch. 3. Setup the FROG-3 Before you get started with the CW mode, you can find out everything for parameter setting of the FROG-3. The first time you power-on the FROG-3 responds with "bip", the LED will flash on and after about 3 seconds first initialisation he responds with "FROG3 x DE DL6NBS". A letter after FROG3 identifies the firmware version. If the FROG-3 later is switched off and on again, he responds with "R". A new first-time initialization is achieved if the wake up button respectively the dot paddle is operated at a FROG-3 paddle version during power up. If the SET button is pressed briefly, "S" for setup sounds and the LED will flash in 3-second intervals. The FROG-3 is in the setup-mode and ready to accept commands. If there is no input for one minute, it will automatically switch back to CW mode. Except the "loud functions" (see description). If SET is pressed for three seconds, a "siren" sounds and the following values are set: Monitor off, IAMBIC-dash+dot on, Digi-speed normal, dash-stretching standardized, monitor-audio frequency normal, Key inverter off, FLY-mode LED, quick-change memory, memory protection off, Timeout on. Now the individual commands in the setup mode. 6/19

7 A -> start the CW-Trainer Input A FROG-3 answers? input a number from 0 to 9 for desired program (CW or PAD) 1 = Random training letters 2 = Random training numbers 3 = Random training signs 4 = Random training letters + numbers 5 = Random training letters + numbers + signs 6 = Learn letters (A-Z) 7 = Learn numbers (0-9) 8 = Learn standard signs ( ) KN AR, -. / 9 = Learn special signs " SK Ä Ö Ü CH : ; Unterstreichung 0 = Random training from memory 6 content FROG-3 repeats the selected number FROG-3 waits 1 second and starts with with groups of 5 DOT short 'bip"and FROG-3 repeats now the current group of 5 DASH Short 'bip"and FROG-3 continues with new groups of 5 ESC push longer to abort ( "loud" function -> no automatic return to CW-mode) B -> change IAMBIC-mode input B FROG-3 answers 0 or 1 or 2 0 = DOT and DASH memory off 1 = DOT memory on 2 = DOT and DASH memory on (default) If change is desired, enter B to the desired mode again ESC to abort (or automatic return to CW-mode after 1 minute) D -> memory mode stack or fast change input D FROG-3 answers 0 or 1 0 = Batch Output all memory operated in order 1 = Switch immediately to a newly selected memory without stacking (default) If change is desired run the setup again 7/19

8 E -> quit setup input E (or ESC-button) F -> take pre-programmed memory contents Study the section "in memory embeddable commands" input F FROG-3 answers? input a number from 0 to 4 for desired set (CW or PAD) 1 = Set standard QSO without FLY-macros Memory 1 = :3 CQ DE :3 :T CQ PSE K :R9 Memory 2 = IN QTH :2 :U = MY NAME IS :3 :V = HW?

When the potentiometer is changed, DIT DAH is given to the monitor, and allows the speed-approach. This operation is possible 1 second after the last paddle or sensor contact. If the potentiometer is adjusted during the sleep-mode in off-position, the "A" sounds even when switched on as an speed change information for the OP. input H FROG-3 answers 0 or 1 0 = speed chang monitor off 1 = speed chang monitor on FROG-3 meldet R und befindet sich wieder in CW-Modus 8/19

9 I -> set or delete preferred CW-speed turn the potentiometer to the desired speed input I FROG 3 stores the current speed for retrieval at the mini-position of speed poti or turn the potentiometer to the mini-position input I Delete preferred CW-speed J -> activate / deactivate on the FLY-mode The entered CW is pushed through a 50 character FIFO when the flight mode is activated. The last 50 characters are stored in the RAM of the PIC. With the MON key the FIFO content is output through the speaker. While the inputs are made, the program looks for the strings DE and DR. If DE is discovered, the program copies the previously given word in the separate HisCall buffer. If DR is detected, the program stores the now following word in the HisName buffer. While HisName is copied, the LED lights up. The two buffers are available as macros :L for HisName and :K for HisCall. This allows a comfortable use in the memories. Prerequisite for good recognition is a precise CW. Right here this "gimmick" can make progress in the cleanliness of giving CW. With the FCN-key HisCall and HisName is output through the speaker. Each new DE or DR-trigger overwrites the buffer. With the DEL-key both buffers and the FIFO can be deleted manually. HisName is thereby initialized with "OP". This ensures that, when you use the macro: K, there is no gap in the QSO and the partner is called OP. If the FIFO content has to be saved or even sent, this is done with the FM6 button. The FIFO contents are copied into the memory 6. The copying process is acknowledged with BEEP. If FLY-mode is deactivated, the aforementioned four keys are inactive. FLY-mode 2 corresponds to 1:1 the mode 1, in addition, there is a brief acoustic trigger message which can be very annoying though. input J FROG-3 answers 0 or 1 or 2 0 = FLY-mode off 1 = FLY-mode on with LED feedback (default) 2 = FLY-mode on with LED and speaker feedback FROG-3 signals S, the LED starts in 3 flashing in 3 seconds rhythm If change is desired, enter J again to the desired mode ESC to abort (or automatic return to CW-mode after 1 minute) L -> enter the CW-speed directly in WPM input L FROG-3 answers? input number from 15 to 30 WPM (CW or PAD) FROG-3 repeats the entered number FROG-3 signals S, the LED starts in 3 flashing in 3 seconds rhythm ESC to abort (or automatic return to CW-mode after 1 minute) 9/19

10 M -> switch the monitor speaker on or off input M FROG-3 answers 0 or 1 0 = speaker off 1 = speaker on If change is desired run the setup again N -> Contest-number set / reset / define format The number is always entered as a 5-digit number sequence. If a digit is entered incorrectly, it can be deleted by error input and re-entered. The input 0-9 is also possible on the NumPad (TUN = 0, M1 = 1, M2 = 2, M3 = 3, M 4 = 4 = 5 M5, M6 = 6, CNR = 7, DEC = 8 SET = 9). T can be used instead of 0 and N can be used instead of 9. If all 5 characters entered as pure numbers the later output is classical -> 95 for ninety-five. If you gave N instead of 9 the later output will be N5 for ninety-five. If T was entered instead of 0 the later output will be TN5 for ninety-five because the use of T extends the output to 3 digits if the number is less than three digits. Leading zeros are thereby output as T. The input Z resets the counter to zero. The format set is maintained. TIP: Format TTN is desired and the counter has to start with zero -> TNZ + ENT + ESC Format 95 is desired and the counter has to start with zero -> 09Z + ENT + ESC Input N FROG-3 outputs 5 characters, depending on the format numbers or T or N FROG-3 answers? ENT if no change is desired or 5 digits and ENT FROG-3 outputs 5 characters, depending on the format numbers or T or N FROG-3 signals S, the LED starts in 3 flashing in 3 seconds rhythm or Z followed by ENT if only counter-zero is desired FROG-3 outputs 5 characters, depending on the format numbers or T or N FROG-3 signals S, the LED starts in 3 flashing in 3 seconds rhythm ESC to abort (or automatic return to CW-mode after 1 minute) O -> invert keyer DOT / DASH input O FROG-3 answers 0 or 1 0 = DASH right / DOT left (default) 1 = DOT right / DASH left If change is desired run the setup again 10/19

11 P -> adjust monitor sound When programming the keyer an "interactive" effect is achieved by two different pitches. The higher tone is the FROG the lower tone the operator. The sound of the tone pair may be varied within certain limits. The rough sound is the FROG distinctive mark (froggy). input P FROG-3 answers with 2 quickly changing sounds give DOT or DASH for change push ENT FROG-3 signals S, the LED starts in 3 flashing in 3 seconds rhythm push ESC to abort ( "loud" function -> no automatic return to CW-mode) Q -> memory protect on / off If a cheap membrane-pad is used, it is sometime necessary to push longer to get the contact. To avoid accidentally enter the write mode, this causes the storage's cleared, the memory input can be locked. input Q FROG-3 answers 0 or 1 0 = Memory 1 to 6 unlocked 1 = Memory 1 to 6 locked R -> adjust DOT / DASH weight and define thumbprint-pattern input R FROG-3 answers with dit-dah in a loop holding DASH will stretch the dashes DOT will compress the dashes until norm (default) ENT stores weight and deletes "thumbprint-pattern" permanently or FM6* stores weight permanently and activates "thumbprint-pattern-key" FROG-3 signals S, the LED starts in 3 flashing in 3 seconds rhythm push ESC to abort ( "loud" function -> no automatic return to CW-mode) * If setting is completed with FM6-key instead of ENT key, the selected value is stored in a fast-change-memory. You can switch between "thumbprint-pattern" and "standard-pattern" with FM6-key and ESC-key. 11/19

12 S -> adjust CW speed operating-point With the S parameter, the working point for the speed potentiometer is changed Input S FROG-3 answers with dit-dah in a loop holding DASH will speed down holding DOT will speed up ENT stores digital speed (operating-point) permanently FROG-3 signals S, the LED starts in 3 flashing in 3 seconds rhythm push ESC to abort ( "loud" function -> no automatic return to CW-mode) T -> set the own CALL for use as macro :T / 20 signs input T FROG-3 outputs the current contents FROG-3 answers? ENT if no change is desired or new contents and ENT, mistakes can be corrected by error = more than 7 DOTS FROG-3 outputs the current contents FROG-3 signals S, the LED starts in 3 flashing in 3 seconds rhythm ESC to abort (or automatic return to CW-mode after 1 minute) The previous explained procedure is identical for: U -> QTH for use as macro :U / 20 characters V -> NAME for use as macro :V / 20 characters W -> RIG for use as macro :W / 50 characters X -> Text or contest-call for use as macro :X / 50 characters Y -> Text or contest-exchange for use as macro :Y / 50 characters Z -> Text for use as macro :Z / 50 characters 12/19

13 4. Operation with the FROG-3 Here you find out what is important for the operation with the FROG-3 is and what is different from a "normal CW Keyer". The 16-key-matrix-pad allows direct access to all major functions of the FROG-3. Some buttons perform dual functions, for example to enter numbers. The original keys of the pad (right) is covered with a paper overlay (left). A transparency adhesive folio protects the surface. TUNE function for TX tuning Creates a burst for tuning. The LED flashes. Holding DOT extends the ratio, DASH switches to continuous tone. To switch off push ESC. ESCAPE function ESC is used to return to the CW-mode or the abort a function. ENTER function ENT is used to finish an entry / setting. If not in SETUP-mode the ENT-key switches to "straight key". Then DASH causes continuous tone and DOT a single shot. To stop the straight key, push ESC. Memory inputs and FLY functions are blocked in straight key mode. SETUP function Enter the SETUP-mode or set defaults (see chapter 3). FLY- functions (see chapter 3) DEL erases all FLY-buffers MON output FLY-buffer to speaker FCN output HisCall und HisName to speaker FM6 copy FLY-buffer to memory 6. The FM6-key can also be programmed to switch on the "thumbprint-pattern". If previously an individual adjustment of the dot / dash ratio was stored with the FM6-key (see setup R) this value can now be recalled with the FM6-key. The ESC key will return to standard dot / dash ratio. 13/19

14 Verify contest number Output the last given number (if > 0) to speaker Decrement contest number Subtract 1 if > 0 and output number to speaker Write to memory Press one of the the buttons M1 to M6 for about 1 second until? sounds. The memory is open, the LED flashes in 3 seconds rhythm and the input can start. The LED flashes after each accepted sign briefly up, invalid characters are not accepted. Please let sufficient time between two words until a "bip" sounds. Spaces between words do not occupy any space. The 6 memories are allocated as follows: M1 50, M2-M3-M4-M5 each 120 and M6 200 characters. Allowed characters: A - Z and 0-9 and signs +AR #SK *KN CH Ä Ö Ü ( ) -. / : ; " _ After ur rst is the FROG-3 responds with "DIT" and the LED lights. Now you can proceed any length of manual input. Each sensor operation sets the wait timer to zero, the LED lights on. If no input occours, the output continues after a waiting period. Then = name is and 5 points slower bernd will be sent.

Then = name is and 5 points slower bernd will be sent. Recall memory Briefly pressing a button M1 to M6 triggers the memory output. Depending of the setting parameter D the FROG-3 behaves as follows: 0 = Batch output all memory operated in order 1 = Switch immediately to the new selected memory without stacking (default) The output can be cancelled by a DASH or a DOT. 15/19

16 5. Details Operation of the FG-3 with paddles or sensors The program can work with both, paddle and sensors. Paddles and sensors have different input pins. K11 - K12 is jumpered for sensor operation, K12 - K13 is jumpered for paddle operation. In principle, both paddle and sensors can be connected simultaneously and selected by switching between K11 - K12 - K13 in real time. Operation of the FROG-3 as pure sensor keyer (without memory-electronics) The DOT signal can be tapped at K19, the DASH signal at K20. These outputs are extremely fast and can be fed to the keying-input of the TX. Each optocoupler includes an LED which consumes power. IC4 and IC5 should only be equipped if the option described here is used. Speaker or beeper The piezo speaker of the FROG-3 is used for setup and control. The slightly rough "Operatorsound" is the typical FROG marks. The "interactive" effect is only given in the speaker variant. The jumper is to set between K9 - K10. Alternatively, a piezoelectric beeper may be used. Then the jumper must be set between K9 - K8 set and the capacitor C3 is omitted. The beeper only receives logic level and no sound. Beepers have high sound levels by adjusting the resistor R4, the volume can be adjusted slightly. Operating voltage and energy-saving The message = BAT LOW = occours if the battery voltage drops below 2,75V and when you turn on or wake up the FROG-3. If during 30 minutes no sensor or paddles is touched and no key is pressed, the FROG-3 sounds "DIT" and goes to the sleep-mode. Pushing the wake up button in the sensor-variant or DASH or DOT in the paddle-variant awakens the FROG-3 with R. Measured power consumption at Ub = 3V (2 x AA-size alkaline AA): Keyed with one optical coupler: 10mA (theor. Running time approx 10 days) Unkeyed active: 4mA (theor. Running time approx 25 days) Inactive (dormant): 30uA (theor. Running time approx 8 years) In normal operation the running time will be between months to years. Connection For connecting cable I use about 40 cm old USB cable with ferrite choke. Board (holes) Components = 0.8 mm, beeper and soldering nails = 1 mm, mounting holes 3.5 mm. 16/19

17 Menu item G -> Information The point is dealt separately here, as it has nothing to do with CW operation. During programming I developed utility routines and make them available for the technically interested OP. If SET is pressed and G is entered, we are in the programs info-level. Possible entries are then: A => Toggle Powersaveer -> 0 = saver on / 1 = Keyer always switched on Useful in Contest mode with PC-aid, keyer is always activ. B => battery short test, siren and LOW BAT if voltage < 2.75 volts. S => Go to sleep mode T => seconds clock, stop with DOT V => battery voltage, CW output x, y volts, 5 measurements, abort with ESC.
